Xu Lin 1984: 142. The main morpheme is co44; vu55 is an extension, often found as the first or the second component in names of various birds. The root morpheme is listed with a different desemanticized extension, in the same meaning 'bird', as cou44-cɨ33 in [Allen 2007: 74].

Xu Lin 1984: 146. Literally: 'hand-finger-nail'. Quoted as Lanping sɯ33=ti55=kɛ44, with pʰiɛ55 also listed as an additional synonym, in [Allen 2007: 81]. The Luobenzhuo equivalent is structurally different from Lanping, but the same as in Xu Lin's Bijiang Bai: ʆi33=ɕɯ̃31=tɯ31=qao55 [ibid.], literally 'hand-finger-nail'.

Xu Lin 1984: 171. Quoted as Lanping xu33, Luobenzhuo xɯ̃33 in [Allen 2007: 105]. For Lanping, the latter source also adds ʆo42 as a synonym; for Luobenzhuo, ɴ33 is listed as a synonym. Semantic difference between all these forms is unknown.

Xu Lin 1984: 170. Quoted as Luobenzhuo pa44=ɕʰã31 in [Allen 2007: 105] (the first component is actually pa44 'white' q.v., so the whole compound might rather mean 'light green'). For Lanping, the same source lists the form lao44.

Xu Lin 1984: 145; Allen 2007: 80. The main root morpheme is tɯ21 (as in Chinese, it also frequently functions as a desemanticized suffix in various nouns); -po21 is unclear.

Dali:tɯ21-po21 1

Xu Lin 1984: 145; Allen 2007: 80. The main root morpheme is tɯ21 (as in Chinese, it also frequently functions as a desemanticized suffix in various nouns); -po21 is unclear.

Bijiang:ʈo33-qa44 2

Xu Lin 1984: 145. In [Allen 2007: 80], the Luobenzhuo equivalent for 'head' is listed as ʈʋ33-pao31, with the same second morpheme as in Jianchuan and Dali. The Lanping equivalent is quoted as tiɯ33-pao31.

Word:hear

Jianchuan:ɕʰɛ̃55 1

Xu Lin 1984: 158; Allen 2007: 92 (glossed as 'to listen', but there does not seem to be any lexical difference between 'hear' and 'listen' in Bai).

Dali:ɕʰɛɹ55 1

Xu Lin 1984: 158. Quoted as ɕʰɛ55 for Qiliqiao Bai in [Allen 2007: 92] (glossed as 'to listen', but there does not seem to be any lexical difference between 'hear' and 'listen' in Bai).

Bijiang:ɕʰã55 1

Xu Lin 1984: 158. Quoted as Lanping ɕʰɛ̃44, Luobenzhuo ɕʰɔ̃55 in [Allen 2007: 92] (glossed as 'to listen', but there does not seem to be any lexical difference between 'hear' and 'listen' in Bai).

Xu Lin 1984: 137. Quoted as mi55=wã44 in [Allen 2007: 69]. The main root morpheme ŋua44, when used in isolation, means 'month' [Xu Lin 1984: 139]; the meaning of the "modifier" mi55 is not quite clear.

Dali:mi55=ua44 1

Xu Lin 1984: 137. Quoted as mi55=wa44 in [Allen 2007: 69]. The main root morpheme ua44, when used in isolation, means 'month' [Xu Lin 1984: 139]; the meaning of the "modifier" mi55 is not quite clear.

Bijiang:ɳu55=ŋu55 1

Xu Lin 1984: 137. For Lanping, [Allen 2007: 69] lists mĩ55=wã44 as the default form (similarly to Jianchuan and Dali Bai). For Luobenzhuo, the equivalent is ɲo33-ɴɔ31 (same as Xu Lin's Bijiang Bai). Internal composition of this form seems to be the same as in Jianchuan and Dali, but with additional phonetic divergence.

Xu Lin 1984: 158. The difference between sua44 and co42 is not explained; for the moment, we include both forms as technical synonyms, since this has implications on the lexicostatistical calculations with Dali and Bijiang Bai.

Xu Lin 1984: 173. This numeral is mainly used in compound numerals (cɛ42 ne44 'twelve', etc.) and in counting.

Dali:ne44 2

Xu Lin 1984: 173. See notes on Jianchuan Bai for usage.

Number: 92

Word:walk (go)

Jianchuan:ŋɛ21 1

Xu Lin 1984: 165; Allen 2007: 100.

Dali:ta31 ~ pe44=ta31 2

Xu Lin 1984: 165. Different stem quoted for Qiliqiao Bai in [Allen 2007: 100]: pe44=ŋɛ21 (i. e. the same equivalent as in Jianchuan Bai; pe44 is a lexical modifier with the meaning 'to walk, move', also seen in the entry for 'to come' q.v.).

Bijiang:ya44 3

Xu Lin 1984: 165. Same word as 'to come' q.v., which makes the glossing a little suspicious, especially in light of external data; on the other hand, considering that several other verbs of movement ('to pass', 'to return') are also translated as ya44 or at least include this morpheme as an integral part, it is possible that ya44 simply functions in Bijiang Bai as a generic verb of movement, modified by various auxiliary morphemes to indicate more narrow meanings. [Allen 2007: 100] gives the Lanping equivalent as ŋɛ21 (= Jianchuan Bai) and the Luobenzhuo equivalent as ya44.

Xu Lin 1984: 175; Allen 2007: 110. Inclusive form. It should be noted that [Allen 2007] lists yã55 as the same form for both inclusive and exclusive 'we', although Jianchuan is the only listed dialect not to have a distinction.

Xu Lin 1984: 137. Quoted as Luobenzhuo ɕü̃33 in [Allen 2007: 70]. The Lanping equivalent [ibid.] is pi55-sɨ55, i.e. the same as in Jianchuan and Dali Bai.

Word:worm

Jianchuan:ɕi21=kɛ55-cɤ̃21 1

Xu Lin 1984: 143. Quoted as ɕi21=ɕɛ55-cɤ21 in [Allen 2007: 77]. Morphological structure is not quite clear; the first morpheme may be the same as in ɕi31 'ground, earth', and the last one is probably the same as cɤ21 'insect' [ibid.].
